Presenting a Playbook

Presenting a Playbook

Presentation mode shows your playbook one section at a time, full screen, like a slideshow. Use it in a team meeting, in the locker room, or on a TV before practice.

Step 1 — Open the presentation settings


Open the playbook and click Present.

  • Time per slide (seconds) – how long text and images stay on screen before moving on, from 3 to 60 seconds. The default is 10.
  • Video repeat count – how many times a video plays before moving on, from 1 to 10.
  • Auto-advance slides – move to the next slide automatically when the time is up. Turn this off to move through the slides yourself.

Click Start Presentation. It opens in a new window.

Step 2 — Present


Each section becomes its own slide. Drills show all of their diagrams, animations and videos in turn.

Use the buttons at the bottom of the screen, or your keyboard:

  • Space – play or pause.
  • Left arrow and Right arrow – previous or next slide.
  • F – full screen.
  • S – open the settings.

Close the presentation window when you're done.

Good to Know


  • File and Practice Plan blocks are left out of the presentation.
  • Present is on the playbook's page in HockeyShare, so you, your collaborators and players on an attached team can use it. The public share page doesn't have a Present button.
  • If your browser blocks the new window, allow pop-ups for HockeyShare and click Start Presentation again.

Tips


  • Turn off Auto-advance slides when you want to talk through each system at your own pace. You can also press Space to pause at any time.
  • Plug a laptop into a TV and press F for full screen before your team arrives.
  • Keep each section short. One idea per slide reads better from across a room.
